Four elderly care home residents are currently recovering hospital after having their testicles hacked at by a mentally disabled man after they had allegedly ate all of a meatball casserole leaving none for him.

Two of the victims lost both their testicles with the other two lost a testicle each after he tied the men down before attacking them with a razor blade.

Wang Fan, 46, was unpaid in his role but was given food and lodgings in return for helping clean the home and feed its residents.

One of the victims, 62-year-old Chi Liang spoke of his horrific ordeal: ‘I thought he was tying me down because of some medical procedure but then I realised actually something was wrong and I yelled and screamed, but nobody came.’

Police dealing with the situation in the Heilongjiang Province in North East China reported that Fan had been drinking and had planned eat the sex organs which are thought by some in China to possess medical properties.

The incident has raised the poor state of care in these government run elderly homes.

Indeed one victim, aged 70, was only discovered a day later still lying in his bloodstained bed.
